"Clean Living" for Larson

Partager sur Twitter Partager sur Facebook

Niveau 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Over at table 503, Dan Casetta flagged down PokerNews to tell about Linda Larson, who has been running good in the early stages of today's tournament and has amassed one of the biggest stacks in the room.

"Clean Living is your title," Casetta said, "Let it be a lesson to the degenerates, you give up the drinking and the smoking and you start running good."

Casetta told us that during level 2, he played a hand against Larson. He had aces against Larson's jacks. "I tricked her into getting it all in preflop," he told us. Larson then turned a jack to make a set and bust Larson's aces to double up.

Not too long after, Larson ran queens into kings, and once again made a set when a queen came on the turn. This time, she delivered a knockout blow to her opponent.

This isn't Larson's first run in the Senior's Championship, as she placed 271st for a cash of $3,074 in the 2017 iteration of the tournament, the largest cash of her career. She'll look to match and exceed that level of success this year, and has positioned herself well in the early going to do just that.

Niveau 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Bill Hansen tossed his last 300 chips into the middle from under the gun and Randy Levin bet from late position. Phil Rigby raised from the cutoff and Levin called.

The flop came and the two eventually were all in with nearly 80,000 chips (200 big blinds) in the middle with Levin at risk.

Bill Hansen:
Randy Levin:
Phil Rigby:

While Hansen had flopped a straight for the few chips in the main pot, Rigby was lightyears ahead for the big sidepot and could only lose against running queens.

Despite having over 98% equity against Levin and being nearly a 97% favorite to win, a rolled off on the turn and an came on the river to put a straight on the board, resulting in max pain for Rigby and a second chance at life for Levin.

Hansen would be forced into the big blind the very next hand and was rivered to see him go bust with his first bullet of the day.

Phil Rigby	46,000 46,000	46,000
